EFIS
ALCON.... I have a Dynon EFIS in my Nimbus 3, 26m. I have been cloud flying for almost 10+ yrs in Florida...all legal, there are a lot of misconceptions of this...but according to the current FAR, in the USA cloud flying is legal. With the EFIS, I have a Tru-Trak T&B, however, the preferred T&B is always a 6 degree per sec turn versus a 3 degree per sec turn...due to the slower speeds that sailplanes maneuver during thermalling. Check out the Dynon site, they are very reasonable, simple to install and small amperes draw as well: http://www.dynonavionics.com The ASH more in likely exceeded his Vne based on air density & temperature, encounter flutter...then you know the rest of the story...

Battery powered gliders. The Dynon units require 8 to 12 Watts! This does not seem like a very practical instrument for gliders. ----------------------------------- That's one reason why I'm looking at Li-ion batteries. Bill Daniels |

I know Shawn's Nimbus and it's definitely a glider. Plenty of room for
all the batteries he needs too! Mike |
